  Hello everyone, welcome back to my podcast spending
• 0:03
  time with dr. Christina. We're back in season
• 0:06
  7 with the five -minute Bible study Thank you
• 0:11
  all for joining me again. And tonight we're going
• 0:13
  to be talking about blessing others in our pain
• 0:17
  So to start we all sometimes experience setbacks
• 0:22
  and hardships tough times But it should never
• 0:28
  be a case where it paralyzes us You know there
• 0:33
  used to be a saying in church, and I think it's
• 0:35
  actually very true and That saying goes something
• 0:39
  like when you take care of God's problems. He
• 0:42
  takes care of yours It's a lot of truth to it
• 0:45
  not very scriptural in that sense. I mean there
• 0:48
  is scripture supporting it and we'll talk about
• 0:50
  it, but Everything should be about us not focusing
• 0:55
  on the problem Now scripture does tell us meditate
• 0:59
  on God's word day and night and he will make
• 1:02
  our way successful. Right? This is in the book
• 1:05
  of Joshua. So when we meditate on the Lord's
• 1:08
  word, when we're going through tough times, that
• 1:13
  begins our road to recovery. Not only that, Getting
• 1:17
  our mind off of ourselves. This is why renewing
• 1:21
  our mind is so important When we renew our mind
• 1:24
  and we say what God says about us and about our
• 1:28
  situation It changes everything Our brain starts
• 1:34
  to click in with our spirit. Our spirit is already
• 1:37
  there, right? It remembers the Word of God and
• 1:40
  we start to move in a direction that is better
• 1:45
  for us. Not negative, but better. So let's talk
• 1:49
  about this for a moment and let's go to scripture.
• 1:52
  For example, the Bible tells us, as a man thinketh,
• 1:56
  so shall he be. So if you think negative things
• 2:01
  and you say negative things, it's going to start
• 2:05
  to manifest and come to pass on your behalf.
• 2:10
  But if you speak positive things, And this is
• 2:14
  where our faith plays in faith of a mustard seed
• 2:17
  then positive things will start to happen in
• 2:20
  your life So many times we let a situation swallow
• 2:25
  us Meaning something really terrible or disturbing
• 2:29
  has happened Maybe it's something that you feel
• 2:33
  like it's so much bigger than you Well, the first
• 2:37
  thing you should realize is that God is bigger
• 2:40
  than any problem you face And you need to start
• 2:45
  to research scriptures and find out how to combat
• 2:49
  that problem that you're dealing with. And when
• 2:52
  you get those scriptures and you start to study
• 2:55
  them and meditate on them, you've done all that
• 2:59
  you can do. Because when you're studying them,
• 3:02
  you're meditating on them, you're even praying
• 3:04
  about them, the next thing you should do is know
• 3:07
  that you have an answer. It's on the way to you.
• 3:11
  and God is working on your behalf. You then start
• 3:15
  to help someone else because your problem is
• 3:18
  solved. You're just waiting for it to manifest
• 3:20
  on your behalf. So maybe there's someone that
• 3:24
  has a need around you. Maybe there's someone
• 3:26
  that needs to have someone to talk to from a
• 3:30
  Christian perspective. Take the time and sow
• 3:34
  that seed into their life and tell them about
• 3:37
  the Lord and tell them what he can do about their
• 3:40
  situation. Because he's already working on your
• 3:43
  behalf. So now you can show someone else how
• 3:47
  he can work on their behalf So many times people
• 3:51
  get stuck and get paralyzed by bad news troubling
• 3:56
  news, whether it's health Maybe it's something
• 3:59
  going on in their personal life. Maybe it's something
• 4:02
  going on around them and It's just very heartbreaking
• 4:07
  and disturbing Don't Get yourself into a pit
• 4:12
  of negative emotions. Come out of it. Fight that
• 4:16
  good fight of faith and know that God has sent
• 4:20
  his Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit is encouraging
• 4:24
  you. You have to be like David. He encouraged
• 4:27
  himself in the Lord. Don't sink into depression
• 4:32
  because that's a door for the enemy. And once
• 4:35
  you open that door, it is very hard to close.
• 4:40
  You want to close all doors to the enemy you
• 4:43
  do not want him to have a foothold in your life
• 4:45
  Where you are taking a path? that's so negative
• 4:49
  that you can't come out. You're going down a
• 4:51
  rabbit hole of negative emotions. Instead you
• 4:54
  want to be in positive emotions and we're going
• 4:56
  to be talking more about that this season. But
• 4:59
  meditate on the Word of God day and night and
• 5:01
  He will make your way successful. Take your time
• 5:04
  and energy and sow it into someone else's life
• 5:08
  and help them to come out of whatever they're
• 5:11
  facing. Well this is the end of this week's Bible
• 5:14
  study and I thank you all for joining me and
• 5:17
  we'll be talking about this some more this season
• 5:19
  and I wish you all a very good week.
